In terms of mechanism, that's not exactly what I had in mind, but in terms of purpose that's the rough idea (specifically: "contexts are the means by which access to platform resources are mediated" -- yes). Creating new contexts would make it possible to restrict what modules can be imported, so you could create "pure" execution contexts in which you could evaluate code that would not have access to anything with interesting authority. This would of course be host-dependent. Dave _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
